P mono-doped and (P, N) co-doped ZnO are investigated by the first-principles calculations. It is found that substitutive P defect forms a deep acceptor level at O site (PO) and it behaves as a donor at Zn site (PZn), while interstitial P…
Using hybrid density functional theory, we investigated formation energies and transition energies of possible donor-like defects in GaInO3, with the aim of exploring the sources of the experimentally observed n-type conductivity in this…
From state-of-the-art density-functional calculations using hybrid functionals we show that, persistent $n$-type conductivity in ZnO is due to defect complexes formed between H with intrinsic and extrinsic defects. H exhibits cationic,…
Efficiency of ZnO doping with Ag and N shallow acceptors, which substitute respectively cations and anions, was investigated. First principles calculations indicate a strong tendency towards formation of nearest neighbor Ag-N pairs and…
X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES), photoluminescence, cathodoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy have been used to investigate the chemical states of nitrogen dopants in ZnO nanowires. It is found that nitrogen exists in…
Achieving efficient n-type doping in AlN, a representative ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductor, remains a longstanding challenge that limits its application in high-power electronics and deep-ultraviolet optoelectronics. Conventional…
Results from hybrid density functional theory calculations on the thermodynamic stability and optical properties of the Zn vacancy ($V_{\text{Zn}}$) complexed with common donor impurities in ZnO are reported. Complexing $V_{\text{Zn}}$ with…
As the concentration of intrinsic defects becomes sufficiently high in O-deficient ZnO, interactions between defects lead to a significant reduction in their formation energies. We show that the formation of both O-vacancies and…
Possibilities of turning intrinsically n-type oxide semiconductors like ZnO and Zn$_{1-x}$Mg$_x$O into p-type materials are investigated. Motivated by recent experiments on Zn$_{1-x}$Mg$_x$O doped with nitrogen we analyze the electronic…
Doping problems in GaN and in AlGaN alloys are addressed on the basis of state-of-the-art first-principles calculations. For n-type doping we find that nitrogen vacancies are too high in energy to be incorporated during growth, but silicon…
We use hybrid density functional calculations to assess n-type doping in monoclinic (Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$)$_2$O$_3$ alloys. We focus on Si, the most promising donor dopant, and study the structural properties, formation energies and…
Despite decades of efforts, achieving $p$-type conductivity in the wide band gap ZnO in its ground-state wurtzite structure continues to be a challenge. Here we detail how $p$-type ZnO can be realized in the metastable, high-pressure…
Nearly all ultrawide-bandgap oxides are affected by hole localization that limits $p$-type conductivity and thus potential applications for these materials. Highly localized holes, also known as hole polarons, trap in the vicinity of…
We present results of magneto-optical measurements and theoretical analysis of shallow bound exciton complexes in bulk ZnO. Polarization and angular dependencies of magneto-photoluminescence spectra at 5 T suggest that the upper valence…
Semiconductors with wide band gap (3.0 eV), high dielectric constant (> 10), good thermal dissipation, and capable of $n$- and $p$-type doping are highly desirable for high-energy power electronic devices. Recent studies indicate that $\rm…
Advancement of optoelectronic and high-power devices is tied to the development of wide band gap materials with excellent transport properties. However, bipolar doping (n-type and p-type doping) and realizing high carrier density while…
Activation of shallow acceptor state has been observed in ion irradiated and subsequently air annealed polycrystalline ZnO material. Low temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of the sample exhibits clear signature of acceptor bound…
We present ab initio density-functional calculations for acceptors, donors, and native defects in aluminum nitride, showing that acceptors are deeper (Be ~ 0.25 eV, Mg_ 0.45 eV) and less soluble than in GaN; at further variance with GaN,…
We study the hydrogen effect on the electronic, magnetic and optical properties of Cu$_2$O in presence of different dopants (Na, Li and Ti). The electronic properties calculations show that hydrogen changes the conductivity of Cu$_2$O from…
Point defects in Ga- and Al-doped ZnO thin films are studied by means of first principles electronic structure calculations. Candidate defects are identified to explain recently observed differences in electrical and spectroscopical…
